    great cleanliness

    Positive, The location is excellent and super close to everything. The owner was fantastic and communication via email was smooth. The cleanliness was great, and it was surprisingly quiet for such a central spot. Nice stay overall! 😊

    tiny shower
    lack of service

    i wanted to love this place but the shower in room 3 is for tiny people only, it’s absolutely ridiculous! also, if you have any special needs, prepare for disappointment. i almost thought about leaving a good review but i never received a complimentary gesture after all this. how hard can it be? what a letdown.

    tiny bathroom
    accessibility issues

    The bathroom in room 3 is a real struggle for anyone larger!!! It’s quite the challenge to fit in even for average-sized folks. Needs serious re-evaluation for accessibility improvements!!!

    Unexpected treasures at Butterfly Guesthouse

    Upon arrival, we were welcomed by Jon, whose warmth and hospitality instantly made us feel at home. The clean, cozy apartment had a perfect location, allowing us easy access to the city's attractions. Each morning, we strolled to nearby cafes, savoring fresh pastries, which quickly became a cherished routine. Jon's presence was a source of comfort—he offered insightful recommendations without being intrusive.

    The bathroom in our room was somewhat cramped, making it a tight fit for anyone larger or with mobility issues. While it didn't detract significantly from our stay, future guests may want to inquire about room options to ensure comfort.

    convenient location
    well stocked kitchen
    limited outdoor activities

    The kitchen was well stocked, and it was nice to have a cozy space to hang out with our older kids.

    My kids wished for more outdoor activities.

    A home away from home with exceptional hospitality

    I recently stayed in a cozy one-bedroom apartment that felt just like home, thanks to the incredible hospitality from Jon, the innkeeper. The apartment was immaculate and provided a peaceful retreat after long days of exploration. Its fantastic location allowed us to walk to various restaurants, cafes, and sights in just minutes, making our stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was that the shower room was a bit tiny, but we managed just fine.

    communal kitchen

    It was just a commendable fit for a weekend getaway in Reykjavik with fantastic value. The communal kitchen reminded me of home, making breakfast enjoyable and personal. It’s worth checking the layout of the bathroom if you need extra space.

    comfortable bed
    cozy space
    excellent wifi
    tight bathroom
    basic amenities

    The Small Double Room was cozy with a firm comfortable bed and a nice thick comforter. It felt like a personal retreat after the day's adventures, though it was pretty basic—no TV or phone. The bathroom was a bit tight, which was a drawback, but the excellent wifi made up for it. Overall, it was clean and I appreciated having a fridge in the kitchen to store snacks and breakfast items. The peaceful vibe was a huge plus!

    clean accommodation
    fantastic location
    fully stocked kitchen
    tiny bathroom

    Clean, cozy accommodation with a fantastic location just a short stroll from the harbor and downtown attractions. The kitchen was fully stocked, which was a game changer for casual breakfasts and late-night snacks. Jon was a great host, providing helpful tips about the area without being intrusive.

    Bathroom was tiny.
